How am I supposed to remove this screw?

have you tried a rubber band?

You were supposed to use the correct size screwdriver the first time

The rubber band trick works pretty well. I had a really small screw one time so I tried super gluing a jewelers screw driver to it but it broke the glue. Then I super glued a rubber band to the screw and turned it and it worked. Try weird shit.

Dumbass.

Already tried the rubber band trick, was getting enough grip but couldn't get enough torque to budge the screw

That screw is really glued to the board. I don't really want to remove the board of the laptop.

freeze a wet q-tip and use it to chill the screw so it contracts a bit, then forcefully unscrew it

i hate those kind of screws, there not glued, theyre soldered down to the board on a little copper plate

The best way to fix this is to get a drill bit about the same size as the thin part of the screw, drill into the center of the head until your almost through, pop off whatever the screw was holding down, use pointy nose pliers to slowly work the screw out of its hole.

The screw isn't glued, it's threadlocked.
First, get the right goddamned bit. That's a Phillips 00 or 000.
Second, a small amount of penetrating oil. Apply enough to get around the head and down to the threads.
Three, use a small hot air wand to the the screw head. Get it at least hot enough to cause the oil to smoke a little (~300-350C). Heat only the screw.
Then, remove screw using correct bit.
